Coaching

The Ministerial Association provide support to pastors at two levels:

1. General Support - The Ministerial Secretary will touch base with each staff member on a quarterly bases. These sessions are confidential and the agenda is set by the pastor. The possible areas of discussion:
   • assess their ministry activity.
   • any work or personal issues.
   • give feedback to the system.
   • share their learning and experiences.
   • future career aspirations.
   • request advocacy.
2. Coaching Leader -  This level of support is more intensive, usually involving a monthly session. It is made available to pastors who wish to increase their coaching skills as a leader and to develop a coaching practice with their leaders. It involves the following components:
   
   • An agreement to work with the Ministerial Secretary for 12 months in a mentoring relationship.
   • To participate in a coach training seminar.
   • To work with a lay person(s) in developing a coaching ministry.
